Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 794

It was what Simon said about inviting someone to the stage.

As the camera panned across the crowd, she saw Edgar Lockwood standing with a woman who looked about his age. The woman was dressed from head to toe in designer brands. Could this woman be... Edgar Lockwood's old mistress?!

Catherine's joy vanished, instantly replaced by a rage so intense her blood boiled.

What a joke! He actually dared to bring that old mistress into the Lockwood Group.

Was he not afraid that his own wife, Grace Lockwood, would see? It was outrageous.

If Aurelius Dominion Group hadn't announced the cancellation of their partnership in the nick of time, Simon would have invited that old mistress onto the stage.

And if she had gone on stage, how would Simon have introduced her? Would he have called her his biological grandmother?

What would that make her mother-in-law, Grace Lockwood?

Her mother-in-law had been a formidable woman all her life, a pillar of society, only to be humiliated like this now.

Catherine saw red.

Just then, Grace walked over, looking lost and dejected.

Ever since she developed Alzheimer's, she had seemed more spirited. She had forgotten the most painful things, the hardships of life, and believed herself to be the happiest person in the world. Mrs. Lockwood couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

This was the first time since Grace's mind had become clouded that Mrs. Lockwood had seen such a sad expression on her face.

Could she know? Perhaps even in her confusion, she could sense that something was wrong.

Catherine quickly went to her side. "Mom, what's wrong? You seem upset."

Grace looked up, her eyes rimmed with red and heavy with unshed tears.

"Don't try to comfort me. I heard Simon is my husband’s bastard son.

No wonder you were always so cold to him at home, and I even advised you to be nicer to him. I'm so stupid. You gave me one wonderful son, Terence. How could I have another grandson? How could I be so foolish as to treat that bastard so well? I've wronged you so terribly."

Mrs. Lockwood froze. So it was a misunderstanding. Her mother-in-law thought Simon was her husband's illegitimate son and was feeling guilty and remorseful.

Mrs. Lockwood let out a small sigh of relief.

"Mom, please take your medicine first."

"This old woman is truly useless. I was so confused I let a wolf in the door, even letting Simon inherit the Lockwood Group and allowing Terence to leave.

How could I be so stupid? But how did that bastard even get into our family? I won't acknowledge him! Throw him out right now."
